Sometimes, but you need to do two things first.
1. Read their privacy policy VERY carefully (and their terms of service). If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect. Avoid sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not agregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).
4. DON'T answer unsolicited e-mails (from anywhere, not just survey sites). These can be phishing scheems, where they try to get your information to mis-use it. I've gotten e-mails asking me to sign up for survey sites I've already been a part of for some time. I contacted the real sites, and they confirmed the e-mails had nothing to do with them.
3. Check out the site on http://www.surveypolice.com/ . Anyone can review sites there, so if they have a lot of good reviews they are probably ok. (If they only have one or two reviews, those could have been from the company or it's employees, though).

Why don't you give them your passwords and Credit Card Security three digit codes and PIN and the Internet address of your bank account, while you're at it?
Go for Broke!
You'll be broke in no time flat!
Of course you shouldn't!
And none of these "Survey" sites will pay you. Especially not in India, where you are obviously from.
